The objective of the imaging pipeline is to transform the original scene into a display image that appear similar, Generally, gamma adjustment or histogram-based method is modified to improve the contrast and detail. However, this is insufficient as the intensity and the chromaticity of illumination vary with geometric position. Thus, MSR (Multi-Scale Retinex) has been proposed. the MSR is based on a channel-independent logarithm, and it is dependent on the scale of the Gaussian filter, which varies according to input image. Therefore, after correcting the color, image quality degradations, such as halo, graying-out, and dominated color, may occur. Accordingly, this paper presents a novel color correction method using a modified image formation model in which the image is divided into three components such as global illumination, local illumination, and reflectance. The global illumination is obtained through Gaussian filtering of the original image, and the local illumination is estimated by using JND-based adaptive filter. Thereafter, the reflectance is estimated by dividing the original image by the estimated global and the local illumination to remove the influence of the illumination effects. The output image is obtained based on sRGB color representation. The experiment results show that the proposed method yields better performance of color correction over the conventional methods.

In this study, the mica used as a thermal-insulation material was modified with a silane coupling agent, octyltriethoxysilane (OTES), to improve its hydrophobicity. The modified mica was characterized using FT-IR spectrometer, water wettability test, and water contact angle measurement. The analysis exhibits that OTES for the modified mica sample was well bonded chemically and drastically enhanced the hydrophobicity. The reflectance observed as 73.9% (mica) and 86.4% (OTES/mica), respectively, for OTES/mica was improved about 12.5% before any modifications. Also the modified mica sample showed $7.2^{\circ}C$ decrease in the thermal-insulation performance of cool paints compared to that of using unmodified mica, indicating that the modification of mica with silane coupling agents could be effective in enhancing the thermal-insulation performance of the cool paint.

고분자 재료에 이온을 주입함으로서 경도, 내마모, 내피로성의 기계적인 특성과 내부식성 등의 화학적 특성이 향상되며, 표면 전기전도도와 광학밀도(optical density)가 변한다. 본 연구에서는 MPPO(Modified-Polyphenlene Oxide) 표면에 N2, Ar, Xe 이온을 에너지 50keV, 선량(dose)을 1$\times$1015에서 1$\times$1017ions/cm2로 증가시키면서 조사하였다. 이온 조사량의 증가에 따라 표면 저항이 2$\times$1015에서 6$\times$106($\Omega$/$\square$)으로 감소하여 표면 전기전도도가 향상되었다. Ar 이온은 1016ion/cm2이하의 조사량(dose)에서 N2보다 표면 저항을 더 많이 감소하는데 반해 1016ion/cm2 이상의 조사량에서는 Ar과 N2의 표면 저항이 비슷한 값을 나타냈다. Xe은 Ar과 N2이온에 비하여 전체적으로 표면저항이 많이 감소하여 전도도의 향상은 Xe, Ar, N2 순서로 질량이 큰 이온이 조사 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 소재 표면은 SIMS 분석을 통하여 깊이에 따른 주입이온의 분포를 관찰하였으며, 표면 색상은 황색에서 갈색을 거쳐 암갈색으로 변화함으로서 가시광선에 대한 반사율(reflectance)이 감소하고 광학밀도(optical density)가 증가하여 광학적 특성이 변하였다. 이온 주입 후 에너지 전이에 의한 효과는 optical gap를 감소시켜 광학밀도(optical density)와 표면 전기 전도도를 증가시킨다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 이온주입에 의한 광학적, 전기적 특성간의 상관관계를 밝히고자 한다.

The rapid growth of zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanostructures (NSs) on woven carbon fiber (WCF) is reported in this study employing a microwave-aided chemical bath deposition process. The effects of different process parameters such as molar concentration, microwave duration and microwave power on morphologies and growth rate of the ZnO on WCF were studied. Furthermore, an attempt has been taken to study influence of different type of growth solutions on ZnO morphologies and growth rates. The surface functionalization of WCF fabrics is achieved by successful growth of crystalline ZnO on fiber surface in a very short duration through one-step microwave synthesis. The morphological, structural and compositional studies of ZnO-modified WCF are evaluated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy respectively. Good amount of zinc and oxygen has been seen in the surface of WCF. The presence of the wurtzite phase of ZnO having crystallite size 30-40 nm calculated using the Debye Scherrer method enhances the surface characteristics of WCF fabrics. The UV-VIS spectroscopy is used to investigate optical properties of ZnO-modified WCF samples by absorbance, transmittance and reflectance spectra. The variation of different parameters such as dielectric constants, optical conductivity, refractive index and extinction coefficient are examined that revealed the enhancement of optical characteristics of carbon fiber for wide applications in optoelectronic devices, carbon fiber composites and photonics.

The fabrication of dielectric multilayer mirror(DMM) optimized at the wavelength of 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ and its spectral properties were investigated. The materials used in the fabrication of DMM are TiO$_2$-SiO$_2$, which have the advantage of yielding high reflectance for relatively small numbers of layers. The optical constants of TiO$_2$single film were obtained by using a modified envelope method. The reflectances of DMMs with 3,7,11 and 23 layers were 58%, 89%, 97% and 99.9% at the wavelength of 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively.

Optically encoded porous silicon smart particles were successfully fabricated from the free-standing porous silicon thin films using ultrasono-method. DBR PSi was prepared by an electrochemical etch of heavily doped $p^{{+}{+}}$-type silicon wafer. DBR PSi was prepared by using a periodic pseudo-square wave current. The surface-modified DBR PSi was prepared by either thermal oxidation or thermal hydrosilylation. Free-standing DBR PSi films were generated by lift-off from the silicon wafer substrate using an electropolishing current. Free-standing DBR PSi films were ultrasonicated to create DBR-structured porous smart particles. Optical characteristics of porous smart particles were measured by FT-IR spectroscopy. The surface morphology of porous smart particles was determined by FE-SEM.
